An overview of Ireland's gender reform from James Esses.
'In 2021, a poll showed that just 17 per cent agreed with Ireland’s gender-recognition law as it stands.'
...
'Following the 2015 Act, a ‘review group’ was set up by the Irish government to review the legislation and to propose future amendments. The group’s recommendations are extremely troubling.
It recommends extending ‘self-ID’ to children aged 16 and 17. It has also recommended extending the above provisions to those who seek to identify as ‘nonbinary’, something which will further dilute sex-based rights. Work is already underway in the Irish parliament to formally draft these proposed legal changes.
Most worrying of all is the review group’s proposal that ‘a system of gender recognition should be introduced for children of any age’. This means toddlers could transition in the near future. The review group even recommends introducing a legal process to ‘address cases where there is not consent from both parents or it is not possible or safe to obtain [the] same’. In other words, parents who do not want their children to legally change their sex are considered a problem for the Irish state to ‘address’.'
